Looping through lines with tabs of file with cat

[yitzle]

How do I loop through the lines of a file when the lines have a tab in them?
When I quote the cat operator, it reads the entire file at once.
When I do not quote, each tab seperated item is treated as a new item.
How do I make it seperate items by newline only?
-- CODE --
fileIn="blah"
for i in "$(cat $fileIn)"
do
    echo $i
    echo
done

Thanks!
